Socrates Introspection Quotes & Sayings

My friend ... care for your psyche ... know thyself, for once we know ourselves, we may learn how to care for ourselves -Socrates — Socrates

No one seriously doubts Socrates' maxim: The unexamined life isn't worth living. Self-assessment and attempts at self-improvement are essential aspects of "the good life." Yes, we should engage in ruthless self-reflection and harsh scrutiny, but we should simultaneously acknowledge that such introspection will, at best, only result in a partial view of our minds at work. Complete objectivity is not an option. — Robert A. Burton
